Palo Alto Medical Foundation linkAges Successful Aging Challenge

Description

The developer challenge is focused one of the key linkAges system components “signal detection,”, tracking and interpreting data that will forewarn of impending events with the potential for significant negative consequences.

We are asking developers to explore Signal Detection, the creative detection and use of signals of physical and social health of our seniors to proactively improve health outcomes and quality of life.

We are particularly interested in community-based signals that are not currently captured and leveraged within the traditional clinical care setting:

-Select signals they believe are important and relevant to senior health and quality of life-Prototype creative systems in which those signals could be detected, analyzed and meaningfully visualized by appropriate parties-Show what actions would be taken as a result-Demonstrate how that would improve the health of a population of seniors in the community.-The PAMF Innovation Center is looking for expansive, outside-the-box thinking, so this is a place for BOLD ideas. We are looking for developer teams who are aligned with our Successful Aging mission and share our passion for disruptively innovative solutions.

Challenge Deliverables:We expect participants to deliver a working prototype of their proposed solution that addresses the problem to solve and meets the requirements outlined in the Challenge Description.

Further details will be provided as part of the Challenge briefing process.

Fit with LinkAges Functional Design and System Architecture:It is important that the Challenge solutions have the potential to interface with our system architecture.
